Seventeen-year-old April Parker wakes up in an underground facility, a shock bracelet on her wrist and a five-day countdown on the clock. Dozens of other teens share her inexplicable fate, but their unseen captors never intervene no matter how brutal conditions become. When the ruthless - and unnervingly magnetic - Marcus seizes control, April's trauma-forged instinct is to lay low. But protecting her friends drives her to bargain with the boy she should fear most - a boy whose reality fractures with every tick. Then the countdown ends, and the real terror begins. Powers ignite. Alliances shatter. And predators are born. And with a saboteur among them determined to keep the doors closed forever, escaping what comes next may be the only way to survive it.

Samantha wishes she were someone else. Anastasia, to be exact. Anastasia doesn't sit in the corner and read because she's too shy to talk to anyone. She doesn't keep trying and failing. Anastasia slays dragons. Of course, Anastasia is only a character in Samantha's story. That's what Sam does, she writes. She writes to keep the monsters at bay. She creates new worlds to escape into. And she writes to block out the cranky ramblings of her jilted father, who refuses to acknowledge the woman that ran out on them years ago. But Samantha finds herself thrown into a not so magical adventure when she discovers her long lost mother has been in town all along. She has questions that need answering, and a few arrow- accusations... she'd like to sling. But there are obstacles to storming the castle, her father for one. Either Samantha makes this her happily ever after, or it all ends in tears... Either way, the story is about to change.

It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.

*****ALL RIGHTS RESERVED***** Three hundred years into the future, the world has fallen into chaos, ravaged by the infamous seven deadly sins. Everyone is born with a single sin that manifests as one ages. It's a new world, only few understand. With no government or the ability for human compassion, hope is at a loss. Fortunately like history has proven true, not everyone is equal. Every year less than a percent of the population is born with more potential to control their sin; they are born pures. All pures attend an academy from age ten to eighteen. This Mysterious place is called Prestige, never to be seen by the exterior world. Run by the council of seven, Prestige became a home for pures. As well as hope for the rest of the human species to one day return the world to order. However time past on and no changes were made. The public started having doubts. How is one supposed to trust in something that has never been seen? Everyone was slowly giving up on a resolution - everyone but Aki. As he watches the world around him crumble he becomes disheartened. To keep from losing his mind he believes in a brighter future. A future worth living in, a future worth fighting for. Aki has put all his eggs in one basket. He bets on Prestige, never losing faith. Is he making the right choice? Things aren't always what they seem. Strong hearted and strong headed, Aki will uncover the truths of Prestige, unravel the means of the sins and learn more about himself than ever imagined.

For centuries, Wonderland thrived as the domain of beautiful bedlam and unapologetic madness. It was a place like no other. All it took was one girl slipping in through the cracks of the universe to start chaos spiraling toward order. In the 150 years since Alice’s visit, the realm has become tainted—almost normal. Rabbits in waistcoats and playing card minions are little more than creatures of myth, and Wonderland is literally falling to pieces. For Gwen, Rose, and Lucky, Wonderland is home, and yet they know little of its former glory. When the Alice prophecy resurfaces, they’ll have one chance to use Wonderland’s own legends to bring a little mayhem back into their reality. For she who controls Alice controls the fate of Wonderland.

Well, me and a friend got very bored one Monday, of a recent long weekend, and this was what began to happen on my message board.

This is a fencing parody of 'You belong with me' by Taylor Swift. Partial credit goes to @CookiewuvsWaffle. Go read her books, promise that they're no where near as strange as this.

Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad. Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools. Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times. The story unfolds beginning October 24.
